"diagrams"

FrameMaker 12 (and earlier versions) allow you to easily map master page layouts to specific paragraph styles. This is particularly useful if you have content like large tech diagrams that required landscape orientation. Watch this brief video to discover examples in new FM12 templates which show you how to have a landscape layout automatically "float" through paginations, pinned to a specific paragraph style.

FrameMaker has many functions not available in Word, including the ability to make a "reverse cross reference" between graphic objects and related text. Watch this short video to see how to select objects or portions of a vector diagram, and make them behave as hyperlinked hotspots that will jump to related text. A simple marker mechanism is used to accomplish this.

See how easy it is to link an entire 3D graphic to an animation view and also how a few FrameMaker 11 mouse clicks, generated a list of parts from the 3D graphic that are automatically hyper-linked. In PDF output, you can click on any of the part names in the table, and the 3D graphic will change to a non-shaded view, with the selected part highlighted with 3D shading.
This feature is very empowering for people creating techcomm content for medical devices, transportation/airline parts and other products that utilize diagrams with many potential views.
